Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. July 13, 1968.

Patented July 6, 1909.

Serial No. 443,218.

all whom it may concern:

do it known that I, NEWTON J. LINDE- sirrrn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yihvnnewood, in the county of Garvin, State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. i

This invention relates to improvements in plow:-:, and has for one of its objects to improve the construction and increase the ctliciency and utility of devices of this charactor.

Another object of the invention to provide a simply constructed attachment for plows whereby the friction incident to the movement through the ground is reduced and the draft." tl'iereb'y i'm'ite'rially improved. i

With these and other objects the invention consists in a beam having a lateral offset at the point with a mold board overhanging the offset, and a disk mounted for rotation rearwardly of the offset and with its outer side face convex and flush with the landsidc face of the offset and the landside edge of the mold board.

The invention further consists in a beam having a lateral offset at the point with a mold board overhanging the offset and a frame extending rearwardly of the mold lioard and beam, the frame.carrying a bearing supporting a onrnal ha ring a disk operating with its outer side face flush with the lamlside face of the offset and the landside edge of the mold board.

The invention further consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrating the preferred cinl'iodiinent of the invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a. plow from the land side, with the improvements embodied therein. Fig. 2 is a plan view in section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a. section on the line 3"?) of lilig. 2. Fig. 4- is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 9. with the mold board detached. Fig. 5 a pcrs'g'ieetive view of the frame detached.

The improved device comprises a. plow beam having a lateral offset 11, at its point with the outer face of the offset forming a portion of the landside of the plow. The mold board 12 is of the usual form and attached. to the beam in the usual manner by bolts 13 and with its landside edge 14 in alincment with the outer or landside face of the offset.

Extending rearwardly of the beam 10 is a frame comprising spaced sides 15-16 and a rear portion 17, with a lateral web 18 at the forward end of the side 15 to form means for riveting or bolting the frame to the beam.

Formed integral with the frame members 1i" 1($ is a half bearing 19 with the inner end of the half bearing formed oblique to bear against the inner face of the mold board 12 and secured thereto by a bolt 20.

Disposed upon the half bearing 19 is a bearing cap 21. and secured thereto by bolts 22, or other suitable fastening devices, the cap overhanging the lower bearing men'iber. l itting rolatiwly within the bearing menu bcrs a journal having an (nilarged inner end 2i fitting in corresponding cavities in the bearing members, so that while the journal is free to rotate in the bearing it is held from longitudinal movement therein. The journal is also provided with a shoulder 26 near its outer end and beneath the overhang of the cap, and serving as a sand guard to the journal, while the overhang also serves as a guard or shield to the ournal.

Secured upon the outer end. of the ournal 23 is a disk 25 having its outer face slightly convex and in substantial alinemcnt with the landside edge id: of the mold board, and the lai'idsideface of the offset 11, the lower ed go of the disk coming about flush with. the lower line of the oifsct. The disk thus replaces the ordinary landside of the plow and provides a sii'u ily constructed and easily applied rolling landsidc, whereby the friction is materially decreased and the draft corrcspon dingly improved.

The improved device may be applied to any of the various forms of plows and listers by making slight and immaterial changes in the construction, will be obvious.

A suitable dust proof oil cup 27 is at tached to the cap member .21, preferably above the enlarged inner end 24- of the stub axle 23, to supply the requisite lubrication.

What is claimed, is:--

.l. in a plow, the cinnbination of a. beam having a lateral offset at its point, a mold board overhanging the offset, a tame ex rotation in said half bearing, a cap engaging over said journal and secured to said half bearing, and a disk carried by sald ournal and operating with its outer face flush with I the landside face of the offset and the land- I side edge of the mold board.

2. In a plow, the combination of a beam having a lateral. ofl'set at its point, a mold board overhanging the offset, a frame extending rearwardly of the mold board and beam, at half bearing carried by said frame and with a halt socket at its inner end, means for connecting said frame to the beam, and to the mold board, a journal mounted for rotation in said half bearing and having a collar at .the inner end and a collar intermediate the ends, with the end collar en gaging in the half socket and the intermediate collar bearing against the half bearing, a disk carried by said journal and operating with its outer face flush with the landside face of the offset and the landside edge of the mold board, and a cap engaging over said half bearing and provided with sockets bearing over the collars of the ournal.

In testimony wiereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
